Get ready to hit the gas, lock and load, and drive straight into chaosâCyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights has arrived in Early Access on PC (Steam)! Developed and published by Hed Media Games, this indie gem blends the thrill of high-speed taxi driving with first-person combat, all set in the gritty streets of a dystopian nightmare known as Prison City.
A city where shadows hide danger, every corner hums with neon menace, and justice is just another word whispered in smoke-filled alleys. In this world, youâre not just a cab driverâyouâre a brother on a desperate mission to save your sister, wrongfully imprisoned in a city that swallows souls whole.
As the gameâs tagline might echo: âYour taxi is more than a rideâitâs a weapon, a lifeline, and your only way out of the night.â
đ What is CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights?
CyberTaxi: Lunatic Nights is a first-person action combat racing simulator where you take the wheel of a battered cab in Prison City, a sprawling dystopia that feels like a mix between Blade Runner and Taxi Driver.
The game combines:
đŠ Taxi simulator realism â ignition systems, headlights, wipers, fuel management, and even suspension physics.
đ« Combat chaos â guns, armor, plasma cannons, and smashing enemy vehicles.
đ Story-driven noir â inspired by retro crime films of the 80s and 90s.
This isnât just about dropping passengers off at Point Bâitâs about fighting thugs, dodging bullets, and balancing your cabâs health as the city itself tries to chew you up and spit you out.
đź Key Features That Set It Apart
